I was trying to find out if there was a single word to mean the bumper at the end of a parking spot. [Sunny Brook Pressed Concrete] Parking bumper is a little unwieldy, and wheel chock seems to be more about airplanes or trailers than general parking spaces.
Teddy bears are, of course, named after US President Theodore Teddy Roosevelt. The name came about after a 1902 hunting expedition. The hunt had found no game, so at the end of the day someone brought out a baby bear and suggested that Roosevelt might like to shoot it instead.
That connected bears with President Roosevelt. The Teddy Bear tie came when a Brooklyn, NY candy shop owner, Morris Michtom, saw Clifford Berrymanâs original cartoon of Roosevelt and the bear and had an idea. He put in his shop window two stuffed toy bears his wife had made.Michtom asked permission from President Roosevelt to call these toy bears Teddy's bears.he Teddy Bear tie came when a Brooklyn, NY candy shop owner, Morris Michtom, saw Clifford Berrymanâs original cartoon of Roosevelt and the bear and had an idea.
